Update: Gatewood/Upper Fauntleroy booms apparently fireworks

7:51 PM: A few minutes ago, we heard two loud blasts that couldn’t have been far from WSB HQ in Upper Fauntleroy/south Gatewood. Mindful that these are usually fireworks, we didn’t call police, but someone did, as the scanner indicates two units are responding to check the area, after a call from someone in the California/Thistle area.

8:01 PM: Via Facebook, someone nearby says it was fireworks, adding that she saw the “sparkly” aftermath. No indication via the scanner that police have found anything, but we’ve got someone out looking around the area too.

I just added to the text above – a Facebook commenter who’s near here posted on the WSB page that she saw the “sparkly” aftermath of fireworks. I’m monitoring the scanner and co-publisher Patrick is out looking around the block just to check, though. – TR

I was walking the dog and heard/saw the fireworks. Scared the dog to death. This is not the first time fireworks have come from this area and not anywhere near the 4th of July. It is in the neighborhood north of Fauntleroy School and just a couple of blocks up from the ferry dock. Surely, the neighbors around would know who it is. Last time we drove around trying to find the house but no luck.
